Filtered News

Introduction

Filtered News can filter your latest, popular or random news by the current section, category, author, and by keywords matches. Besides the plain list, you can choose between different dynamic and static content layouts.

I've been looking for a super-simple showcase type module, without any fancy and heavy javascript, etc, and the 'static' option does exactly that.

It is ridiculously easy to customise, with only CSS and the module parameters (I made it show only images, overlaid with the article title, which looks superb, and added a tiny hack in the very clean code to allow me to push articles to the module with a string in the Meta Description).

This is good extension, very good in fact...but it seems to have got worse with the 2.5 incarnation.

I successfully implemented the version for joomla 1.5 in a joomla 1.5 site where I needed to list articles from a particular section on the home page. I thought it would be a breeze to updated the site to joomla 2.5, but alas, the function to show articles from within a particular category has gone. I suppose it's been replaced with the 'Exclude Categories' options, but this again doesn't seem to work. Or I simply don't understand how to use it.

Saying that, recently build a joomla 2.5 site where I used one instance of the module in on pages within categories through the whole site. This brought up an idea for a function for this extension. This being to concatenate the module title with the category it appears in. ie. module title is 'More...' and the module is used in a category called say, 'reviews' and another, say, 'interviews', the 'More...' is concatenated with 'reviews' when the module appears in the 'reviews' category and when it appears in the 'interviews' category it is concatenated with 'interviews'.

Like many have expressed, the support for this extension is particularly irritating. I appreciate the developer not having time to contribute to the forum but it's always helpful to find and contribute solutions from/to posts. But when the forum is locked...it's just plan annoying.

Would it be possible to set up a forum for this extension within the a joomla forum?

This module and it's other version is one of my first installs in every site i make. it helps making a better content layouts and actually replaces the blog view. it's easily manageable and always works as expected.
